Preparing for convention and attending has really put me behind! However, I wanted to take some time to catch up on a bunch of things. First, I know I've mentioned this to some of my customers but we have an online special going on - Perfect Pair! If you're missing some of our retired favorite paper packs, this one is for you. Place an
online order of $75 or more in July and you'll receive a popular paper
packet and coordinating accessory—a Perfect Pair—for free! Different Perfect
Pairs are available on different dates throughout the month so you’ll want to
place more than one qualifying order to snatch several Perfect Pairs.

Second, convention was great fun! Lots of new products are afoot and here are the highlights:
Studio J: Memberships are going away, but the company is making this a much more affordable and viable option for those of you who like to scrapbook from your computers!
New How-To Publication: We have a brand new publication "Make It From the Heart" (think magazine) featuring 16 two-page layout
patterns, two single-page patterns, and 12 different card patterns. The
patterns follow along with those found in the WOTG programs.
New Workshops on the Go: In addition to 8
brand new WOTG kits featuring all 8 of our newest papers, there are 5
ADDITIONAL kits that include a Halloween party supply kit, two fabulous
card kits, a kit to create our new spool album (think giant antique
thread bobbin), and a gorgeous Advent calendar kit!
Stamp Categories SimplifiedOur stamp categories are now simplified to include the following:
- Holidays
- Seasons & Nature (all things outdoors)
- Flair (backgrounds, accents, borders, frames, tags, and the like)
- Everyday Life
- Occasions
- Alphabets
Updated Color Palette: Our color palette
now includes 40 colors plus White Daisy and Colonial White. AND by popular demand, all 42 colors have individual cardstock packs of 24 sheets again!
Kit Exclusive Colors: Some of the
new paper packets have trendy colors included that are exclusive to those kits!
New Pigment Inks: We now have pigment inks available in sets of ten mini pigment cubes - one collection for each category of color in the color palette!
Organizers: The new organizer cases that
are being introduced are a small and medium case. The small case can be
augmented with a foam insert for either blocks or small craft boxes
(available separately). The medium case includes removable dividers so
that you can customize your case to carry your most cherished
accessories!
New Cricut Cartridge: This is a "must have" product!
This cartridge has an emphasis on 3-D project suites with 698 unique
shapes plus a circle and a square to balance out the collection. The
keypad cover is designed in an alpha/numeric form to make it quick and
simple to find the shapes you need and each key is themed to make a
variety of projects. AND it comes with an additional instructions book on assembling your 3-D items! Once again this product, the Cricut Artiste
Collection, is packaged with 3 exclusive stamp sets and 3 sheets of
coordinating chipboard. While the stamp sets are only available with the
cartridge, the chipboard shapes are also available in the regular
product line.
New Alcohol Markers: We have a brand new collection of alcohol
markers that are sold in pairs, one base and one shade, for each of our
40 colors. These markers are not considered to be a Copic competitor,
have rigid (not soft) tips, no special paper is needed, and can be
blended to create a huge variation of colors.
